Double Flush Chobert® The Double Flush Chobert® rivet is a Speed Fastening® rivet with countersunk head for use in exceptionally thin sheet materials. It is placed into sheets that have countersunk bores on both sides. After installation, the placed rivet forms a fl ush fastening on both the front and rear of the application.

Avibulb® XT & Avinox® XT High performance structural breakstem fasteners with excellent bulbing tail formation, featur-ing a wide grip range.

Rivscrew® PL A proprietary Speed Fastening® System, combines the speed of rivet placement with the remo-vability of a screw.

Avseal® II The new range of Avseal® II blind sealing plugs are unique in the effi cient sealing performance they provide in low and high pressure hole sealing applications.

Genesis® nG Range The new range of high performance, lightweight hydro-pneumatic handtools for breakstem rivets.

Versa-Nut® The blind insert from Avdel® doubles the grip range of soft materials, thin wall plastics and composites, while providing new levels of joint clamp and pullout resistance with fewer faste-ners.

Large Diameter Avdelok® These lockbolts are heavy duty, two piece fasteners designed to provide exceptional high strength, secure assembly. Quick and simple to place yet lasting for years, they are the ideal solution where spot welding is not practical or possible.

High Strength Hexsert® The strongest material to eliminate cross threading. High strength Hexsert® provides clamp force comparable to weld nuts and clinch nuts in high torque applications.

Avbolt® The Avbolt® structural blind fastener is a high strength, tamper resistant, blind steel fastener designed for use in heavy duty structural applications such as construction, container, railway and mining.

In recent years the market trend towards new materials used in assemblies such as composites, high-strength thin gauge steels, and die-cast magnesium has presented new challenges to fastener manufacturers. Avdel® has been at the forefront of new product development to meet these new market requirements during which time fasteners such as Versa-Nut® threaded inserts, Maxlok® lockbolts, Rivscrew® PL, Klamp-Tite®, Bulbex®, and Avinox® rivets have all been developed as fastening solutions for the changing market.

Benefits of assembly

Avdel speed fastening systems provide rapid and reliable assembly of metals, plastics, composites and passive electronic components. The fasteners are either magazine-fed or fed via a vibrating bowl to a wide choice of installation equipment. At the end of each assembly cycle, the next fastener is automatically delivered to the nose of the tool ready to repeat the assembly process. Speed fastening offers many benefits over conventional mechanical assembly systems, including:

Typical placing sequence 1. The mandrel with pre-loaded fastener is located in the hole.

2. Tool activation pulls the man-drel through the fastener, expand-ing it within the hole to provide high clamp and secure joints.

3. At the end of the installation cy-cle, the next fastener is automati-cally delivered to the nose of the tool, ready to repeat the assembly process.

Please visit our website www.avdel-global.com for fastener placing animations.

There are many assembly situations where Avdel speed fasteners provide the ideal fastening solution, including:

Aluminium die-cast boxes• Car bumpers and doors• DIN connectors and • heatsinks to PCB’sDomestic appliances• Electrical engineering• Lighting equipment• PCB’s to chassis assemblies• Switchgear• Telecommunications equipment•

Avdel two piece lockbolt systems are designed for high strength assembly. Quick and simple to place, they provide tamper-proof joints and are the ideal solution where spot welding is not practical or not possible. They are widely used in demanding engi-neering industries such as vehicle body building, railways, construction and containers. Key user benefits include:

Typical placing sequence

1. The fastener bolt is located in the hole and the collar placed over the stem. The tool is then located onto the stem.

2. Tool activation pulls the materials together and swages the collar into the grooves of the pin.

3. At a pre-determined load, the stem breaks flush with the top of the collar.

Avdel threaded inserts and installation tools provide a quick, reliable and low cost system of inserting high quality, load bearing threads. The inserts offer many benefits over weld nuts, self-tapping screws, pressed inserts and nuts & bolts. Key user benefits include:

Typical placing sequence The insert is threaded onto the drive screw of the installation tool and inserted into the prepared hole in the workpiece.

On activating the tool, the threaded insert is pulled towards the tool, forming the body wall radially outwards to clench tightly against the workpiece.

At a pre-determined torque, the drive screw of the tool reverses and is disengaged from the thread, leaving the insert securely in position.Please visit our website www.avdel-global.com for fastener placing animations.

Customised Assembly Solutions

From simple twin-headed modules to multi-headed, customised equipment, these systems can dramatically reduce assembly time and costs whilst improving consistency of placing. Customised systems can be designed for virtually any application or assembly environment and process monitoring equipment or clamping modules can be easily integrated. The direction, type and number of assembly heads can all be customised. We have designed equipment with two heads to over eighty heads but the configurations are virtually limitless.

With assembly cycles as low as two seconds, these systems provide:

High speed assembly• Assembly of any configuration• Fastening at any angle• Synchronous fastener placement•

Highly controlled assembly• Process flexibility• Integration into assembly lines• Improved product quality•

Together with the fasteners, these high precision tools create a high quality, reliable assembly system. The fasteners are placed accurately and consistently without the risk of over-torquing. An additional benefit of these systems are the practical jig points provided by the assembly heads.
